“You see that, I sipped before the applause break… bravado”
- Ben Kolina
“While the poor and middle class fight for us in Afghanistan, and while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks.”
Co-worker: I made French toast this morning with wheat bread.
Me: UN-AMERICAN!!!
Co-worker: How is that un-American?
Me: 1. FRENCH toast, 2. WHEAT bread.
Co-worker: Why is wheat bread un-American?
Me: Hippies.
Co-worker: So if eat wheat bread it will turn me into a hippie?
Me: You do realize you are wearing sandals right now…
Co-worker: …shit.
Exactly one year ago today I paid $5 to get on stage at a steakhouse and begin the process of becoming a comedian, a process that continues day by day, but I’m proud of, most of, what I’ve done and excited about continuing the process to it’s inevitable, bitter and alcoholic conclusion. …..j/k lolzzz
In all seriousness, I am tremendously thankful for the friends and family who have supported my comedic endeavors in the past year. Also for the many talented comedians I’ve been able to meet and work with and laugh with, the most valuable part of the whole experience is feeling like a part of this awesome creative community, the bay kicks some serious comedy ass.
To many more future laughs,
Ben
